What is Pulmicort Turbuhaler?
Your Pulmicort Turbuhaler is both an asthma medication and a delivery system that is used by adults and children 6 years of age and older. Pulmicort Turbuhaler is an inhaled corticosteroid. The medication in your Pulmicort Turbuhaler works to reduce and prevent inflammation in your airways and helps manage your asthma symptoms when used regularly. The actual device for the medication is called a Turbuhaler. Pulmicort Turbuhaler is a simple-to-use delivery system that is inhalation driven. “Inhalation driven” means that when you breathe in through your Pulmicort Turbuhaler, your medication is delivered to your lungs. Unlike aerosol inhalers, no propellants, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), are necessary to deliver your medication.
